Move all .c files to th same directory - like done for almost
all other drives.
In this case we have a directory: drivers/net/ethernet/netronome
which is just an indirection to nfp/
and nfp/ contains a structure with 25 .c files in subdirs.

With some careful renaming everything could reside in
one dir without loosing any structure.
And then the driver starts to look a bit
more like any other driver in the kernel.

And as an added benefit some of the other goodies like
building single files just works.
